Saint Arnold Spring Bock


This beer initially has quite pleasing color when held up to the light. It has deep and rich amber hues that promise a wonderful experience for your taste buds. However, upon first sip, there seems to be little flavor or carbonation. This is a bit deceptive. The flavor is quite subtle. Beer is made in much the same way whiskey is, up to a certain point, where hops and carbonation are added. This beer seems, (this is speculation only) to have been left to cook or ferment for a longer period of time before the yeast yielded any CO2. This gives this beer a very similar flavor as whiskey, which for some might be a pleasant surprise, and others might find it off-putting. Initially, i was fairly disappointed with this beer. Being a native Texan, i want to support Texas brewers. But after a few more sips, this beer really grew on me. I wouldn't say i loved it, but it wasn't as disappointing as i initially thought. Give it a try and see for yourself.
